Episode Notes

After 190 episodes Max, Ryan, and James can no longer avoid the shadow of one of the "worst" movies of all time and one of Alan Moore's many adaptation disappointments, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Is the assembling of Victorian era fictional characters as bad as it was 20 years ago, or does this movie belong in the dustbin of film history? Tune in to find out.
